The present interpretation of dot commands is: Refer to the WordStar documentation to find out which dot commands accept measurements as arguments. Most dot commands that take their arguments as number of lines or columns will allow measurements as well. Upper and lower case are allowed with these. Centimeters are specified as 'C' or 'CM', and points with 'P' or 'PM'. In 5.5C, inch measurements were allowed with 'I' or 'IN'. Inches in 5.0 were specified using the double quote only. In version 5.5 revision C, measurements in points and centimeters were allowed. In version 5.0, the ability to specify measurements in inches was added. With version 4.0, math was allowed in the arguments for easier entry of complex page layouts. Versions prior to 4.0 require whole numbers as arguments to dot commands that require numbers (subscript roll, page offset). In the table below, the codes in the "Usage" column indicate the following:Į Affects editing, printing, or merge printing. (See the WordStar documentation for exact descriptions of each dot command.) Additional formatting information is recorded in WordStar files through means of "dot commands." Dot commands are instructions that are preceded (in the first position in the line) by a period and stand alone as the only entry on that line. The file implemented.xlsx (in the Sourceforge repository) will show whether it’s been implemented or not. Control Keys WordStar Command SequencesĬonvert first letter each sentence to u/cĮnter control character in dialog boxes ?ĭot commands not implemented will have a red background (in default color mode) for non-implemented commands. This is a smidge out of date, but is in the process of being updated. This is a copy of the implemented.xlsx file, showing what the commands are, and whether or not WordTsar has implemented them yet.

In order to share text with other applications you must use the specific control sequences. You can mark a block, then edit the document for an hour before you do something with the marked block.Ĭopying and pasting marked blocked blocks use an internal buffer, and a standard copy does not make the block available to the OS for other applications. A block of text can be marked and then left alone for as long as you like before doing anything with it. Marked blocks or selecting of text works different under WordTsar than most applications. The Wordstar keys for carat/cursor movement are: Ctrl-S The cursor keys, home, end, page up and page down work as expected.
